SwiftScan review

SwiftScan is a full-featured scanner from Maple Media, available on iPhone, iPad and Android. Scans start at 200 dpi with automatic edge detection, five color modes and new scan sizes for driver's licenses, receipts and passports. The upload list is the longest here: iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, OneDrive for Business, Box, Slack, Todoist, Shoeboxed, FTP, SFTP and WebDAV, with an automatic upload location if you want every scan to go to one place. Built-in fax reaches more than 50 countries at one credit per page, charged only for delivered faxes, and newer AI tools summarize or translate documents. Maple Media says no data in your documents is sent to it and that text recognition runs on the device. The drawbacks are cost and clutter: the listing says the free app contains advertising, it carries an 18+ rating, and the App Store describes Plus as the plan that unlocks auto-sync, encryption and OCR, at $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year. VIP is listed at $5.99 a month.
